A swift kick in the...! A must-see one-of-a-kind stop in Raleigh, right off of I-540 in the Angus Barn parking lot. It's sheltered within a small, covered gazebo, easy to spot in the back of the parking lot. You just turn around, turn the crank, and Wham! -- a nice warm fuzzy boot kicks you in the behind.

Self Ass-Kicking Machine #2

This was a blast -- we timed the trip so we could kick ourselves in the ass and have lunch along the way to our trip. It is still in mint condition. Trust me -- you wouldn't want to stand the wrong way, as the sign says!

It was a real bummer that the restaurant did not open until 5 pm. We had to go on our merry way hungry.

Self Kicking Machine #2

The Ass Kicking machine at the 'Angus Barn Restaurant' is a don't miss site if you're visiting Raleigh. Tucked away in the back of the parking lot of this very upscale restaurant sits the replica of Ass Kicking Machine #1. It's in great condition, covered overhead so the boots don't deteriorate. And it packs a wallop. Bring along a friend who you think needs the treatment.
